Multiple perspectives

To look at a question from different viewpoints, you can use questions which draw on different personality dimensions.

  • Sensing: Ask yourself about details.
  • Intuitive: Ask yourself about the broader picture.
  • Thinking: Ask yourself about the logical consequences.
  • Feeling: Ask yourself about the effect on people.

You'll find a useful list of questions at Problem solving and thinking tips.

I like using these angles of looking at something from a different perspective, because it helps me get unstuck and move beyond my comfort zones and look at a topic from a fresh angle.
